Outdoor Theatre: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM by William Shakespeare

Five couples – three human, one fairy, and one mythical – find their relationships sorely tested, intimately probed and indecently exposed when a troupe of amateur theatricals bumble into the forest to rehearse a play.

Shakespeare’s timeless comic masterpiece explores every colour in the spectrum of love, from arranged marriage to elopement, from infatuation to hatred, from chivalric devotion to raw sex. Add to this bawdy mix a heady brew of confusion, magic and mischief, and you have the most perfectly frothy comedy for a moonlit summer evening.

Running time (approx): 2hrs 20mins (including 20 minute interval). Doors open at 5.30pm.

Bring your own (low backed) portable chairs, rugs, picnic – and perhaps a warm layer of clothing in case there is a breeze from the river.
